Chapter 932: The Qing Court is in chaos
Now that Zhang Yi is not in the Republic of China, Xu Huaijin is the supreme commander of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and he is also the only person whose military prestige can surpass the giants. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com], latest chapter access:. As both chief of the General Staff and chief of the Army, he has the support of spoilers for various group armies, and no one dares to challenge his authority at this time.
At Xu Huaijin's order, the troops of each group army began to move and assembled towards the predetermined position, while Ling Chuanqing, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, and Cai Yi, the chief of the general staff, personally went to Xuzhou to take charge of the operation.
The military operations of the Republic of China naturally quickly attracted the attention of the Qing court, and the Qing court was in a sensation, Cixi's 'flower' gray hair turned into snow silk overnight, and she couldn't afford to lie on the couch, and Rong Lu among the Manchu magnates was also terminally ill.
At this time, Yuan Shikai was still inspecting official business in Guangxi, but he couldn't turn around for a while, after all, South China is not as developed as the railway system of North China, and moreover, there are many smooth roads in the north, many water networks in the south, and it is not easy to build railways because of the 'intertwined' water network.
In a hurry, Zhang Zhi's 'hole' sent seven telegrams to Yuan Shikai in a row, urgently inviting Yuan Shikai to return to Wuchang to discuss state affairs!
At this time, Yuan Shikai was already in a hurry, this Republic of China will fight no matter how it says, there is no warning at all, he is thousands of miles away, and if he wants to return to Beijing, he is afraid that it will take five or six days at the earliest, and in five or six days, once there is any unfavorable change in the battle situation, it will be troublesome!
Yuan Shikai rode a fast horse along the post station towards Wuchang, and at the same time sent an urgent telegram to Feng Guozhang in Jiangsu and Anhui and Wang Shizhen in southern Henan, ordering them to immediately assemble a new army on the front line and prepare for battle, and be sure to defend the Qinling Mountains, a strategic point on the front line of the Huai River, especially the defense along the Huai River, and absolutely ensure that nothing goes wrong!
As soon as Yuan Shikai's order arrived, Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen acted urgently. [I love to read]
The two of them gathered six divisions of 'elite' troops on the Qinling-Huaihe line, ready to defend to the death!
The current Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen want to say that they are not nervous, it is completely deceitful, especially that the new army of the six towns under their command wants to completely block the main division of the four Chinese revolutionary armies on the north bank, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
What he is facing is the iron-blooded division that has defeated hundreds of thousands of Russian and Japanese main forces, compared with his own new army, it is not a grade at all, and his own new army in six towns only has less than 100,000 people, while the people are more than 70,000 people in the four main divisions, plus two integrated artillery brigades, together, more than 80,000 people, the number of wheels, the revolutionary army has the upper hand, but I can't help but the artillery of other people is powerful, in addition to the artillery of each division, there are also two integrated artillery brigades, this is a real big killer!
None of the new troops in any town had the guts to face the highly mechanized artillery brigade of the Revolutionary Army alone, but they had countless cars to transport them, much faster than their own infantry, and even cavalry were no match for them if they were to travel long distances!
Can the two of them not be cowardly, even if they are sure to block the attack of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, but what about the follow-up attack of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, I heard that the Chinese Revolutionary Army is the most ' The first division of the elite has been dispatched, and the leader of the troops is the rising star Jiang Baili, who is not very old, but he is the well-known Fengtian military three masters, except for those few King Kongs, none of them can stabilize him, if it is not too young, now I am afraid that he is already the commander of a group army, when it comes to tactical cultivation, I am afraid that no general of the Qing court can face the star-studded group of generals of the Chinese Revolutionary Army alone except Tan Feng!
Wang Shizhen and Feng Guozhang are a little apprehensive, but the old Cixi of Wuchang, then you can't use apprehension, and now she is so scared that she can't even get out of the 'bed', in the past few years, he has suffered heavy blows one after another, and has repeatedly fled from the capital, and has overdrawn the 'essence' in his body, and usually relies on some precious 'medicine' materials, barely supported, this time, suddenly, the Chinese Revolutionary Army suddenly made trouble, which made her even more unbearable.
Now Cixi didn't dare to let Zhang Zhi's 'hole' leave the palace for a moment, and successively urged the eunuchs to pass the decree and invite Rong Lu to enter the palace to meet him, but at this time, Rong Lu was even more terminally ill, and his state was not as good as Cixi, how could he come to the palace!
For several days in a row, Cixi had difficulty eating, her bones were as thin as wood, her face was scorched, and she even had some difficulty speaking!
Cixi asked with difficulty: "Xiangshuai, the mourning family asks you, when will Yuan Shikai be able to return to Wuchang?" ”
Zhang Zhi's 'hole' shook his head bitterly, Yuan Shikai? It's still three hundred miles away, and I'm afraid it will take two days and one night before I can return to Wuchang!
Zhang Zhi's 'hole' had to be comforted with kind words: "Echo Lafayette, Yuan Weiting has already passed through Hunan and entered Hubei, and one more day, you will be able to rush to Wuchang, you don't have to worry too much, our Qing Dynasty has the protection of our ancestors and ancestors, and we will definitely be able to get through this difficulty!" ”
A glimmer of hope appeared on Cixi's face, she now pinned all her hopes on Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai, if the two of them also fell, then the entire Qing court and the whole of South China would really be finished!
Cixi asked, "Xiangshuai, what about Ronglu?" ”
Zhang Zhi's 'hole' persuaded: "Lafayette, please relax, now Lord Rong's body is sick and needs to rest for a few days, it is not appropriate to alarm Lord Rong, bring the condition to improve, Lord Rong Lu will definitely come to the palace to ask for peace!" ”
At this moment, a medical officer hurriedly ran in, knelt outside the 'door' and said loudly: "Qi Song Lafayette, Ronglu Zhongtang sent his family cronies to report the news, Lord Ronglu is critically ill, left a suicide note, and has traveled west!" ”
Cixi, who was already frightened, heard the eunuch's report, her eyes were anxious, and she was completely 'unconscious'.
can frighten Zhang Zhi's 'hole' around him, it doesn't matter if Rong Lu dies at this time, but if Cixi dies, it will be really troublesome! The dragons are leaderless!
Zhang Zhi's 'hole' hurriedly called for the imperial doctor, and a white-haired old imperial doctor ran in to treat Cixi, and the palace was completely 'chaotic'.
After a long time, the old lady came out of the house.
Zhang Zhi's 'hole' hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Old man, may I ask about Lafayette's condition?" ……”
The old Chinese medicine doctor shook his head and sighed and said: "Old Xiangguo, Lafayette has woken up, but I am afraid that I will not be able to survive tomorrow. ”
Li Lianying, who was on the side, heard this, and hurriedly ran into the palace.
After a long time, Li Lianying walked out of the room with a solemn expression, and said sadly: "Old Zhongtang, I'm afraid that Lafayette is really going to be unable to survive, go in quickly, she said that she wants to pass on the edict!" ”
Zhang Zhi's 'hole' was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly called the important ministers around him, rushed into Cixi's bedroom, and pounced in! say
